"A variety of opinions is welcome, as long as your perspective does not intentionally hurt another". I have been thinking about this concept for a long time now. I am disheartened when I watch the news or observe the world around us, and witness so much hatred and polarization. I think that a difference in opinions is necessary. I learn a lot about the world and about myself, when I meet someone new and they share their story with me. What I cannot abide is when that opinion intentionally hurts another person or a community. We need to find common ground in this world, not relish in our differences. We need to work together to find solutions to the issues that we face like the environmental crisis, not act in silos. We need to recognize differences as gifts, not view them with hatred.
Other statements that I love:
In a world where you can choose to be anything, choose to be kind - Jennifer Dukes Lee
No one is too small to make a difference - Greta Thunberg
